Information on two current-generation Tales games emerged recently. First, Namco established that the first 3D adventure in the series Tales of Symphonia will ship to North American retail stores on June 30th, 2004. This GameCube title will be only the third game in the series to be released in North America.

Secondly, Namco Producer Akira Yoshizumi made it known to news sources that another Tales game is already in production. Yoshizumi also said that the folks at Production I.G. would return as cut scene animators in this yet-untitled installment. Nothing was stated pertaining to such things as what system the game will appear on or what visual style will be displayed. More will be reported as this story develops.
